BACKGROUND: To evaluate the relationship between the severity of dysmenorrhea and endometrioma. METHODS: Descriptive study with prospective design. Two hundred and thirty-nine women with histologically proved endometriomas. The severity of…
The relationship between chronic pelvic pain symptoms and endometriosis is unclear because painful symptoms are frequent in women without this pathology, and because asymptomatic forms of endometriosis exist. Our comprehensive review attemp…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To assess the results of complete surgical excision for patients with painful functional symptoms in a context of histologically proven deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task…
UFE is a highly effective, minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy and is now widely accepted for the management of fibroid-related symptoms. However, there are still some questions regarding the use of UFE as an alternative to myome…
OBJECTIVE: To compare the accuracy of rectal endoscopic ultrasonography (REU) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for predicting rectal wall involvement in patients presenting histologically proven deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). …
BACKGROUND: Deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) is recognized as a specific entity responsible for pain. The distribution of locations and their contribution to surgical management has not been previously studied. METHODS: Medical, ope…
BACKGROUND: Little is known about the precise nature of the relationship between dysmenorrhoea (DM) and endometriosis. Our aim was to evaluate the relationship between the severity of DM in women with posterior deep infiltrating endometrios…
Deep pelvic endometriosis presents essentially in the form of a painful syndrome dominated by deep dyspareunia and painful functional symptoms that recur according to the menstrual cycle, with the semiology directly correlated with the loca…
OBJECTIVE: To present the anatomopathological characteristics of deep bladder endometriosis. DESIGN: Descriptive anatomapathological study. SETTING: A university hospital department of gynecological surgery. PATIENT(S): Eleven consecutiv…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To take recent progress in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) into account to determine its accuracy compared with that of transvaginal ultrasonography (TVUS) in diagnosing bladder endometriosis. DESIGN: Retrospective analys…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To describe the histologic appearance of deep endometriosis infiltrating the uterosacral ligaments (USL). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification II-2). SETTING: University-affiliated hospital. …
The goal of this study was to describe the magnetic resonance (MR) imaging signs of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE) lesions and above all to find out if MR imaging can pinpoint the location of these lesions. We made a retrospective …
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether specific types of pelvic pain are correlated with the anatomic locations of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Retrospective data analysis. SETTING: University tertiary referral center. PAT…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To determine whether routine clinical examination is sufficient for the diagnosis and establishing the location of deeply infiltrating endometriosis (DIE). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force classification…
STUDY OBJECTIVE: To analyze the risk of postoperative adhesions in women who undergo laparoscopic surgical management of deep endometriosis infiltrating the uterosacral ligaments (USL). DESIGN: Retrospective analysis (Canadian Task Force c…
OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether deeply infiltrating endometriosis occurs with equal frequency between left and right uterosacral ligaments. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of consecutive cases. SETTING: Department of gynaecological surge…
BACKGROUND: Two aims: 1) To assess the results of laparoscopically assisted vaginal management of deep endometriosis infiltrating the rectovaginal septum (RVS); 2) to pinpoint the differences between this procedure and that used for deep en…

The efficacy of medical treatment as unique treatment for endometrioma is not demonstrated. Operative laparoscopic management is the gold standard for surgical treatment. There is no indication to prescribe preoperatively medical treatment …
